Anyone doing the Siesta Scripture Memory Team?

I am doing the Beth Moore Scripture Memory Team on her blog which is Living Proof Ministries, or the LPM Blog. I must admit, I haven't posted my verses each couple weeks, but I have followed along. I have written down my verses in my cute little Siesta scripture team index booklet. I'm sure it defeats *a* purpose by not posting (yet), I will this next week. But in the meantime, I believe the *main* purpose is to memorize it.
Even if you don't do this, read some of these! You might just be encouraged, refreshed, and inspired to start your own! I like how she wants us to pick verses that meet us where we are. Not to grab hers, or your best friend's, but your own. No pressure, just great to memorize something, a verse, if nothing else.


Here are my 3 verses so far. Just to encourage you to find something that speaks to you for the next couple weeks!

Verse #1 - Jan 1st, 2011 

Being confident in this, that he who began a good work in you 
will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.
- Philippians 1:6

Verse #2  - Jan 15th, 2011

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols 
on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, 
talking about them when you sit at home and when 
you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 
- Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Verse #3 - Feb 1st, 2011

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, 
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 
Philippians 4:6-7 

Let me know if you are doing this, too! God bless you and your little hearts as you begin to look through His word and find what you need this week! :)

Day 10 - taken from my 365 blog


I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed Your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy

Not well-traveled, not well-read
Not well-to-do, or well-bred
Just want to hear instead
Well done, good and faithful one
- Nichole Nordeman 
I have thought about this, and how will "they" remember me? Don't you sometimes wonder? In this rat race called life, it seems like we get so caught up with things that don't matter. I sometimes think, what if I don't make it back home, who will find all those dirty dishes? Who will take care of the things I hold most dear to me? If I were to leave this earth tomorrow, what would "they" say about me? I am trying to "Leave a Legacy" and show my kids there is more to life than "stuff."  
We made these little verse cards and were reading them before every dinner. Everyone would pick one to read, then take turns reading one. I did a mad clean one day and they disappeared. Well, guess what I just found (and my youngest was elated!).. the cards we had made together. I pray that my children hold these verses close to their hearts. And maybe, one day, "they" will pick up my Bible and find these verses underlined and realize what matters most.
